Weekend Pix

My friend Al Pist's new-ish band with Rich Stremme and some other people you don't know is called M-13. Kim and I saw them at the El N Gee in New London Saturday night. They blew us away.

I was gonna post pics of the other bands but they came out kinda crappy. It was cool to see Refuse Resist do "Still in Massachusetts" live, though.

Some other randomness--a yacht club close to where we live (not that close!) burned down during that last snowstorm. The place had survived a few hurricanes. Now, it's...this:

And as you may or may not know, one of my holy grails as a photographer is capturing anything flying directly in front of the moon. I didn't quite get it, but this shot from today is still pretty cool:

3. Gods, even. But gods unknown by most of my readership..... but what the hell, here are the "credits" for anyone who is curious: M-13: Al. Ken, who recorded the Pac-Men 7", and who WAS Glenn Danzig in Misfits cover band 138. Rich Stremme, who is in the Deacons with Al and who I think did Brian's tattoo. Gerry who was in the recent Pist lineup. And...okay, I never met that other guy but I guess he was also in Brutally Familiar.

Other bands that played: Common Enemy, Refuse Resist, White Bronco, and Sadplant.

Oh and was that Vatican Commandos shirt from back in the day? Did I ever tell you about the time I saw Moby at a table at his own restaurant, and I tried to take a pic of him, but the cam didn't work at first, and he was looking and waiting and waiting? I finally got the shot of an embarrassed-looking him.
